Job Description

About Commonwealth Fusion Systems:


Commonwealth Fusion Systems is on a mission to deliver the urgent transition to fusion energy.


Combining decades of research, top talent, and new technologies, we’re designing and building commercially viable fusion power plants. And working with policymakers and suppliers to build the energy industry of the future.


We’re in the best position to make it happen. Since 2018, we’ve raised nearly $3 billion in capital, making us the largest and leading private fusion company in the world.


Now we’re looking for more thinkers, doers, builders, and makers to join us. People who’ll bring new perspectives, solve tough problems, and thrive as part of a team.


If that’s you and this role fits, we want to hear from you.


Join the power movement as a Senior Manager, Materials and Process Engineering


The Materials and Processing (M&P) Department at CFS supports design engineers, supply chain, and manufacturing by selecting materials, unambiguously defining materials and processing routes, validating and measuring those materials and their properties, and conducting R&D to develop new materials and processes to enable fusion power deployment. M&P at CFS is organized around three primary thrusts: engineering, test and characterization, and development programs. The work is undertaken in support of delivering SPARC, the net energy tokamak under construction in Devens, MA, and ultimately in designing the ARC fusion power plant. These devices pose unique materials challenges including neutron fluxes produced by deuterium-tritium fusion, high heat loads, molten salt coolant systems, complex component topologies, high magnetic fields, and high mechanical loading in cryogenic conditions.

We are seeking a leader for the engineering thrust within M&P. This leader will be responsible for managing a functional group of multiple engineering discipline teams including but not limited to metals and alloys, welding and joining, composites and polymers, coatings and special processes, and ceramics. These teams serve as a centralized matrix resource across engineering design teams and development projects. This leader will also be responsible for maintaining and maturing the standard engineering practice in M&P including the generation of materials/process specifications, the definition of design materials allowables, maintenance of materials libraries, and more.
